Pre-season tournament, typically held last week of July, first week of August
with four participants. Initially at home in the South-West German city of Freiburg
im Breisgau. After this it was moved about 15 kilometres north to Bahlingen where
it was run from 1985 to 1999 as "Karl-Heinz Bente Gedächtnisturnier"
("Karl-Heinz Bente Memorial Tournament") named after Karl-Heinz Bente (1941-1984) who was
from the early 1960s until his death in an automobile accident in January 1984 at Bahlingen
an influential player and in later years also coach with the regional clubs Freiburger FC,
SC Freiburg and Offenburger FV. At behest of Bente's family the linkage between Bente and
the tournament was abandoned after 1999. The current name refers to the Kaiserstuhl
("Emperor's Chair"), a range of hills in the region with a maximum height of ca. 550 metres.
Cup and trophy are usually subjected to references to sponsors in their names.

The modus since about 2005 is, two matches each team played in double features.
The team with the most points and best goal difference gets the trophy.
